Why choose me

This isn’t about trends it’s about a life that feels strong

I’m Cris, and FitnessAve is personal. Strength, resilience, and confidence aren’t buzzwords for me they’re the things I had to rebuild from scratch.

I was on track for a promising football career until a serious knee injury shut everything down. The physical pain was one thing the mental crash afterwards was worse. I lost direction, routine, and the identity I’d tied to sport.

I didn’t quit. I rebuilt slowly, intelligently, and with a plan that respected my body and my life.

That journey shaped how I coach today. Every program I write is grounded in clear progressions, technique first, and honest accountability. Most of all, it’s built around your week so you can stay consistent and actually see change.

  • Built around your week
    Plans that flex with work, family, and energy so you stick with it.
  • Evidence-based blocks
    Simple 4-week progressions that move the needle without burn-out.
  • Injury-aware coaching
    Stronger and safer with cues that make lifting feel good again.

Our mission

More than programs. care, context, and change

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs. We believe in understanding you, your goals, your challenges, your wins, and even the days when motivation feels impossible.

With over a decade of experience helping people of all ages and fitness levels, I bring not just expertise, but empathy. I’ve been where you are, and I know what it takes to turn things around.

When you train with us, you’re not just another number or before-and-after photo. You’re part of a supportive, no-judgement space where your progress matters as much as your wellbeing.

Because at Fitness Ave we don’t just change bodies, we change lives.
